When Georgia Hunter was 15 years old, she learned that she came from a family of Holocaust survivors. Her New York Times bestselling book, We Were the Lucky Ones, was born of her decade-long quest to uncover her family’s staggering history. Today, her book has landed in the hands of over one million readers, having been translated into 16 foreign languages. Recently, it was optioned by Hulu as a limited series. Please join Georgia at the Jefferson Scholars Foundation as she shares her story—and what it was like to write it.
